    Especially considering it has only moved 1/4 of cars in value compare to BaT when it was sold.

    Wait, 9 digits? As in $100M range? BaT brought in $68M rev last year if based on 5% commission. So that ain't bad for a dozen or so programmers keeping site up.
    BAT sold >$1B last year, so C&B has brought in less than 1/4 of the annual sales of BAT, in 2.5 years.

    BAT was acquired in 2020, and has grown hugely since then. The valuation wasn't unreasonable, at the time, but looks like a relative bargain today. Of course with fees capped at $5,000, it's not as simple as taking 5% of sales, but it gets you close for the sake of argument.

    BAT has about 40 staff members.

    Doug is a neat dude, and I want people like that to get money.

    How can you not be happy for a guy like Doug that actually started at the bottom and worked his way into money in contrast to rich kid Youtubers.

    I dont know the upbringing of Doug, but i've always found him annoying. On the other hand, Ed from Vinwiki is a good story teller.

    I find Doug to be far less annoying than most other YTers. Ed is the best though. Until I bought his book and it was all about Jesus. I'll stick to his videos.

    Ed's entertaining... as long as you remember his stories are just that - stories. Some of the shit he spouts is about as make believe as his best friend in the sky.

    He is so odd, the way he communicates dialogue and annunciates is just bizarre. He drives like a little bitch, points the camera at his lame ass face while going half throttle in a hypercar like he’s about to nut while sounding like a complete horny whiny idiot. He just reeks of a try-hard “enthusiast” in my opinion and I just cannot stand the videos! 2 cents haha

    This.
    He is the epitome of a YouTuber whose content is masquerading as a hard core car enthusiast but whose audience is silly boys who want to feel like they have gained knowledge and expertise from the real world experience of super car ownership in aspects where they feel like they can shit on those who actually own these vehicles and thus justify their regular lives feeling like they aren't missing out. That's roughly 90% of his videos.
    There are some gems, like his gas station videos where some baby-dick tries to call him out because his 20yo exotic has fewer HP than some new SUV. But he knows his audience and where the monetization is. "Your life is fine because this Lambo owner needs to pay $2k every oil change. Don't feel bad about your Genesis and keep watching my channel. Like & subscribe!"

    THIS.... is his channel - in a nut shell!

    LoL, that sounds like a reasonable argument, but the truth is that if you've seen 5 of his videos, you've seen them all.
    They are more formulaic than the recipe for toast.

    There's only one more car YouTuber I dislike more... He's more of a Boomer with an annoying voice.

    Is he going through puberty, or is he purposefully sounding like that?

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.
